Decionis Auto and n8n

n8n is good at what it does, and you can keep it. Decionis Auto adds authority to the steps you have to answer for, and you can start with the n8n workflow you already run.

What n8n does well, and what Decionis Auto adds

n8n

Source-available workflow automation you can self-host or use in the cloud.

What n8n does well

  • Self-hosting, so workflows and data can stay on your own infrastructure.
  • Code nodes in JavaScript and Python when a visual node is not enough.
  • Popular with technical teams for AI-assisted and agent workflows.

Where Decionis Auto adds authority

  • Guardrails decided outside the workflow, so a change to a node cannot change what is allowed.
  • A decision before every step that moves money or changes a system: ALLOW, ESCALATE or BLOCK.
  • A signed record of each decision that an auditor can verify without access to your n8n instance.
